Xiao Fang could feel the profundity in the characters alone. As magnificent as they were, the characters didn't give him a welcoming feeling, it felt more like a warning.

The door was warm to the touch, giving Xiao Fang the impression that whatever was inside must've been fairly hot.

Xiao Fang tried to push the doors open, but when it was open just a crack, a harsh light suddenly shined through. Upon inspecting it closely, Xiao Fang could see that it wasn't just a single bright light, but a countless number of them.

Looking through the narrow opening of the doors, Xiao Fang could see a sea of Lightning on the other side, and roughly 50 meters away was another gate, but it was even bigger and more impressive than the one he was opening now.

”Am I really supposed to walk through this.”

Xiao Fang froze upon seeing such a terrifying sight. He didn't think he could handle getting struck even once, so how was he supposed to get through to the other side.

Even though Xiao Fang couldn't see or hear anyone, the moment he opened the [ Lightning Tribulation ] gates, he could feel a pair of eyes staring at him. It was neither friendly nor hostile, but it made Xiao Fang feel as if he was being judged.

Looking into the gates, Xiao Fang hesitated. He knew it wasn't going to be easy, but wasn't this taking things too far?

While most people in his shoes would have seen it as a dead end, Xiao Fang saw it as finishing line. This was his last push, so he wanted to finish it strong. Seeing the hellish plains in front of him only settled his impatient heart.

'After this, it would finally be over.'

Xiao Fang walked in with the intent of accepting the vicious sea of lightning, but he immediately blacked out after stepping inside.

...

When Xiao Fang woke up, he found himself still inside of the Spirit Pagoda, but he was laying down with his head resting on the elder's lap with her breast hanging over his face. He couldn't remember what happened, but he now had a splitting headache.

As Xiao Fang was looking around, he realized all of his wounds were healed. It seemed that the elder was successful in healing him in the end, but if that was the case then wouldn't it mean that the Divine Spirit Beast would start attacking him again?

”How do you feel?” She asked.

With his head still resting on her lap, Xiao Fang looked up at her, but he didn't say a word. She continued to look down at him as she stroked his hair.

Xiao Fang thought she was acting strange, but he couldn't understand why. She had been looking into his eyes for the past 10 hours without much of a reaction so he assumed that she was immune or highly resistant to it's effects.

What Xiao Fang didn't know was just how precious he was to the sect, her sect. Even though she didn't originally approve of him and was venting her anger out at him, now that Xiao Fang had proven himself as being a strong and capable man, she finally accepted him as a disciple of the sect. He had completely won her over.

The elder was no longer in the sect, nor was she involved with the sect's affairs, but if she was then she would've taken good care of Xiao Fang till he became an exemplary Black Paradise disciple.

”How long was I out for?” Xiao Fang asked.

”Only a few minutes,” she replied.

The strange thing was that Xiao Fang wasn't just fully energized, he felt significantly stronger too.

'Did I make another breakthrough?' he thought.
